Boulder DUI Defense Attorney

Were you arrested at a DUI checkpoint?

DUI checkpoints are essentially roadblocks set up by law enforcement officials
to check the sobriety of the drivers that attempt to go through. Officers
will typically stop all or some of the vehicles to investigate the possibility
of the driver being impaired, either by alcohol or drugs. They are generally
set up during times when people are most likely to be out drinking, late
at night during the end of the week, and on weekends.

If you or someone you know has recently been
arrested at a DUI checkpoint, it is in your best interests to speak with a competent
Boulder DUI lawyer without delay.

If you wind up being convicted of
DUI, the result can be severe and devastating
DUI penalties such as:

Loss of your driver's license, either for a period of time or permanently

Jail time

Probation

Community service

Substantial fines and fees

Court ordered alcohol/drug treatment or classes

Vehicle confiscation

Increased auto insurance premiums

Negative impact on your legal record, which can make it very difficult
to find or maintain employment and can limit your housing options, as
many employers and rental agencies conduct background checks.

Experienced Defense

DUI checkpoints, while legal to carry out in our state, must be performed
by law enforcement adhering to strict criteria established by the Supreme
Court. When a law enforcement official suspects alcohol or drugs, they
will ask drivers to submit to
field sobriety tests.

If the officer deems necessary, they also may request a
breathalyzer test or a
blood test to determine your blood alcohol content (BAC). An arrest will be made
if the field sobriety tests are failed or the toxicology tests are failed
and the result will be a charge for DUI and then it is up to the State
to prove that the roadblock complied with constitutional standards.

versed and experienced in cases pertaining to
